Gary Coleman's agent, Robert Malcolm, is now claiming that the actor's friends, Todd Bridges, and ex-manager Dion Mial desperately attempted to dissuade his disgusting ex-wife, Shannon Price, from taking him off of life-support!

Malcolm claims:

"Dion and Todd both begged her not to pull the plug."

We don't know about you, but this - and the revelation that Coleman never wanted to be taken off of life support - just make that woman look more and more deplorable and heartless!

Todd Bridges revealed that Gary Coleman had a pension with the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists that could be worth millions!

He admits that he doesn't know the exact amount, but Todd himself will receive $150,000 a year from the age of 55! And Gary made twice as much as him during the 8 years they were on Diff'rent Strokes.

Todd explains where the money will go:

“He may have died with no money but his pension is huge. We have plans with it, charitable plans definitely. Our plans are to make sure it goes to the right places. A lot of his stuff will go toward charities for kids.

“His pension will not go to one person, no way. Dion [Mial, Gary's former manager] is not going to benefit. Dion is one of the ones that sincerely cared about Gary. He will not take advantage of anything to do with Gary’s estate; Dion is not that kind of guy. It will be dealt with the right way in the God way, the respectful way.”

Gary Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price has been locked out of the family home due to the battle of Gary's assets getting ugly!

Coleman's ex-manager Dion Mial has been revealed as the executor of Coleman's estate and the will written in 1999 gives Gary's remaining assets to him!

But Shannon's agent says they will do everything they can so it doesn't happen!

Sheila Erickson explains:

“Shannon cannot even get into her own home now… even though she is on the deed to her house She doesn't want everything to go to Dion. We have a retained a high-profile attorney. We have enough documentation that shows that everything will go to Shannon.

“Shannon gave Dion the money to pay for his attorney. It was all the money Shannon had… she wanted to make sure that Gary's wishes were respected. She was hoping Dion would be able to assist in keeping Gary’s body here [in Utah].”

Instead it appears Dion has turned against Shannon! Erickson continues:

“Gary made a statement about Dion less then 24 hours before he fell. He said that he had not been friends with Dion for years. When asked why, Gary said: All good things come to an end.’

"Gary was stating that he had a falling out with Dion and did not wish to be close friends with him anymore.”

It honestly doesn't sound like Gary had many positive people in his life at all…

Maybe it should all go to Todd Bridges? He seemed to have Gary's best interests at heart!

Entertainment Tonight interviewed Gary Coleman's Diff'rent Strokes co-star Todd Bridges and he revealed that Gary not only recently had open-heart surgery, but he also had a some secret last wishes!

Here are some HIGHlights from Todd's interview, airing tonight!

On the good times they had together:

"We had an exceptional time as kids. We always had fun in our dressing rooms, we'd always roller skate together around [the studio lot], we always hung out… we went to school together. He was a precocious, fun little kid that was very bright for his age."
On Gary's behavior as an adult:

"Imagine having major health problems. Imagine getting ripped off of all your money. Imagine being raised in a household where he wasn't taught how to love himself or to love others around him. So when he hit the world at an adult age, he wasn't prepared."

On Gary's open-heart surgery:

"Physically, he wasn't in great shape. He had a valve replaced, and people didn't know that."

On Gary's last wishes:

"[A friend of mine and I] have paperwork, and we'll bring it out soon, that will show what his wishes were and what he wanted. There's a big fight going on with his parents and some other people involved, and after we bring this paperwork out, everybody's going to shut up.

"Gary had certain wishes [excluding his parents]. I'm not going to go against a dying man's wishes. … There's a reason why he didn't speak to them for 23 years."

Diff'rent Strokes star Todd Bridges has opened up about his past as a victim of sexual abuse and drug addiction in his new book, Killing Willis, and now has revealed he became a drug dealer at 22 to work off his $30,000 debt!

However, he couldn't stop doing the drugs he was selling!

Bridges says:

"I worked four different hotels and I had five girls that worked on the streets. I hated myself. I hated the way I looked in the mirror. I believed everything people said about me."

We're so glad he was able to clean up his act and get his life together! That's a lot better than most in his position seem to do.

And in a new interview published on Thursday, the college student admitted that she received a ton of hateful messages -- including death and rape threats -- following the crybaby candidate's digital tantrum.

The now-19-year-old explained to The Washington Post that she couldn't have anticipated the kind of backlash she received, saying:
